MVRsimulation's seamless 3D terrain of the continent of South America is constructed with 3-arcsecond STRM elevation data and with natural color imagery ranging from  0.60 to 15 meter-per-pixel (mpp) resolution.

Covering an area over 17,814,000 sq km (1,718 geocells), the terrain includes 0.60 mpp high-resolution natural color insets of many South American capital cities and other cities of interest. Built with MVRsimulation’s Terrain Tools for Esri® ArcGIS®, the round-earth VRSG terrain tiles are for use in MVRsimulation Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSG).

These tiles, which reside in a geocentric coordinate system. are suitable for real-time visualization and simulation applications including synthetic vision, glass-cockpit displays, intelligence surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) applications, close-air-support (CAS) exercises, and fixed-wing cockpit simulation.

The South America 3D terrain is "Additional Materials" and is provided "as is" as described in our license agreement.  Although MVRsimulation might modify or enhance the original source imagery, some visual artifacts from the source imagery might remain in the terrain tiles.

Geographic coverage by imagery resolution

The following symbolic representation shows the geographic coverage of this 3D dataset’s terrain tiles of all of South America. This terrain tile coverage map was generated with MVRsimulation’s Model Viewer. The areas in green indicate 15 mpp imagery, the orange-brown areas indicate 1 mpp resolution imagery, and the bright red areas indicate imagery resolution of less than 1 mpp.

Delivery

MVRsimulation's South America 3D terrain is delivered on an external hard drive. The terrain is provided in MVRsimulation's round-earth VRSG terrain format and will only run with a valid VRSG version 6 software license with valid software maintenance. A fee covers processing large quantities of data into VRSG terrain format and hard drive distribution media.

MVRsimulation's South America 3D terrain is available for purchase to customers who are US Government agencies or contractors (for official use only). Customers can duplicate the data at their discretion as long as the data is used in conjunction with a valid VRSG license.
